Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday, November 29 unveiled Indian cricket team’s brand new ODI jersey. The jersey has been designed specially honouring the Indian tri-colour. However, India’s participation in the Champions Trophy 2025 currently stands in a limbo with the Pakistan Cricket Board adamant to host the tournament entirely in Pakistan, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has given an ultimatum to PCB to accept the hybrid model.
Ahead of this, the BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, in presence of India Women captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, unveiled the latest jersey. Speaking of the brand-new jersey, it boasts of a tri-colour gradient on the shoulders, while the remaining kit is in line to the previous one. The kit features traditional light blue colour, with two stars on the chest, signifying the two ODI World Cup wins which came in 1983 and 2011.
